Given this system of language codes is already defined then adopting
it will cover all possible cases even if the number of places that
have multiple names within a single language is a very small
proportion of the small proportion of places that have multiple names
at all.

I'd hazard a guess that virtually no english place names have
gb/us/au/whatever variations, that they do occur frequently enough in
other languages to be worth bothering about - Chinese and Arabic
strike me as obvious candidates.
